Geotechnical and Contamination Consulting

At Geotechnical And Contamination Consulting, we know the tremendous amount of work that goes into any construction project and understand the work of multiple disciplines and hundreds of people combined to get the job done.

Budget Guarantee

We believe projects should run to budget and that quotes and invoices should be easy to understand and compare.

Holistic

We work holistically to ensure both the environmental and geotechnical aspects of a project work harmoniously.

Always on Schedule

We believe that you shouldn't have to waste your time chasing late reports, so we guarantee our reports will be delivered on time.

Geotechnical Engineering

A ground investigation can cost as little as a few hundred pounds, but can save you £1000s on overall development costs by reducing risk and surprises later in the project.

We provide a full suite of:

  • Geotechnical risk assessment,
  • Geotechnical engineering
  • Preliminary design and construction recommendations on projects of all sizes.​

Through our geotechnical hazard identification system, we can reduce construction risk and ongoing liability by highlighting hazards early in the project cycle.

Value for money and sound advice. We had used larger geotechnical consultants in the past but having asked Philip Price to quote we thought we would give him a chance and were very glad we did. Philip's quote was very reasonable and he stuck to the promised time scales. The service he provides is of a high professional standard given in a cheerful and friendly way and we would highly recommend him.
